Happy Day After Halloween

Happy Day After Halloween!!! How has your day has been? Mine is proving to be a challenge relationally. I don't know if it is due to lack of sleep (we all got to bed way past our bedtimes last night), or if it is driven by the severe fluctuations in our blood sugar levels rising and falling with each piece of candy consumed, or all the demonic activity associated with Halloween.
Anyway, we couldn't find our digital camera last night! What a bummer. I have been comparing myself all day to all the wonderful moms who knew where their cameras were last night. (Why do we put ourselves on that hamster wheel anyway?)
But, I do have a cute story to share. So, instead of a picture you get a thousand words...or more....I'm not going to take the time and count.
Elie, our comic relief, really wanted to be a horse for Halloween. But, our eldest daughter told her that would not be possible b/c to make a horse costume you need 2 people (at least, according to our costume book from the library). So, Eleanor resigned herself to be "The Girl Who Feeds the Horse" as pictured in the book next to the horse. So, Elie dressed up in bib overalls, wore a hat with fake long blonde braided hair, and carried a basket of carrots around for the "imaginary horse". At least the costume was easy although many people didn't understand who whe was.
Did you know giraffes love carrots? Sam was dressed up as a giraffe and we had a hard time stopping him from eating all of Eleanor's props. I think every carrot was missing a bite or at least very slobbery by the end of the night.
Joseph was proud to be Spider Man. We bit the bullet and bought one of those Walmart costumes complete with inflatable muscles. He is going to be spider man every day this year now.
Adalynne true to form chose to be a Hula Girl. She was adorable thanks to Oriental Trading Co.
What a wierd blog this is! Anyway, thanks for reading I love sharing.
